2025 was the 360th anniversary of the academic journal, representing over three and a half centuries of the dominance of the peer-reviewed journal article as a key method of disseminating research. However, in practical terms, very little has changed about the journal article in those 360 years, while at the same time we have seen significant shifts in how scholarship is practiced, as scholars and citizens participate in an increasingly digital world. Is the scholarly article, as conceived by the Royal Society in 1665, still fit for its purpose in this data-driven world, with new interdisciplinary methodologies and increasing automation?

This workshop offers researchers the space to consider what they need from the dissemination of their research and discuss ideas to fully exploit the digital environment to their advantage when publishing and promoting their work. We will consider new types of publication, the ethics and social justice of publishing as well as practical tips on how to incorporate these into your publishing strategy

This session forms the basis of the series and attendees can expect to examine publication practices across the disciplines; reflect on your motivation for publication; consider alternatives to traditional publication to encourage impact and public awareness of your work.

Heard about the new requirements for open access and how they might affect your choice of publication venue
Started to develop a plan for your next publication and any promotion of your publication you will need to do afterwards
